Our Services

A challenge we encounter quite often when first working with new clients is defining, at a fairly basic level, a project’s scope. Often organizations know what they want in terms of high-level project deliverables, but are not sure how to get there. That is what our professionals can help you with!
Project scope is the part of project planning that involves determining and documenting a list of specific project goals, deliverables, features, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs and returns on investment. Every project presents its own unique challenges, and Integra aims to provide a realistic view of the most efficient and effective means to address client objectives. We provide full feasibility studies, which explore all potential options our clients need in order to ensure a quality and cost effective product. This does not always mean a “new” facility; Integra consistently pays close attention to the potential optimization of existing facilities.

Our facilities design philosophy focuses on minimizing capital expenditure and operating costs as
well as maximizing reliability, with emphasis on both safety and protecting the environment. Much thought is put into the layout of equipment for future expansion, as well as into the protection of the
people working at the facility. As operations personnel are tasked with an ever-increasing list of
responsibilities, most of our facilities are designed to be operated with minimal operator intervention.
We build into every design a number of redundancies, but also maximize the use of the equipment.
Equipment is selected based on required performance and on the costs of maintenance and
downtime. Our design team meets regularly with vendors to keep apprised of new equipment and
technologies.

Availability of materials and equipment within the oil and gas industry often results in scheduling
difficulties. Integra has proven successful in ensuring our Clients needs are addressed in a time
and cost effective way. Our Client’s work directly with our experienced Project Coordinators, who
ensure that projects are not delayed as a result of procurement challenges. We provide:

Integra has expertise in managing projects of various sizes and a range of complexities. We are
proud to have established a company based on successful relationships, service and safety. Integra
currently is providing PMI training to our Project Coordinators to ensure an even greater knowledge
base that our Clients can draw on. Our expertise includes:

Integra's Drafting department has the capability of working on and creating drawings in both 2D and 3D environments with AutoCAD being the base software used for most of our software packages.

We use ProCAD’s AutoFLOW and AutoORTHO software for mechanical drawings such as P&ID’s, PFD’s and site plans, AutoELECTRIC for electrical drawings and also Microstation for drawings where required. For modeling in 3D, we’ve been using CADWorx Plant professional since 2006. We create fully intelligent models of Piping, Structural, Civil and Electrical components, which in turn allows us to generate Isometrics, Bill of Material lists, valve lists or any other custom list required for the project. Throughout the design phase, we use Navisworks Simulate and Freedom software for design reviews that both the Engineers and clients have access to. Raster Design is also utilized for working on image files such as TIFF’s and Print2CAD for converting PDF versions of drawings back into workable CAD files.

We pay very close attention to the quality and clarity of our design drawings, and are very proud to have had numerous compliments from both our Clients and project contractors as well.

Integra provides in-house design and development of control systems and control system support to
our clients in the maintenance and optimization of existing processes. Our Automation Specialists
work to identify new opportunities and solutions with cost/benefit analysis and make
recommendations to improve efficiencies.

Integra has the knowledge and experience to provide electrical power and control systems design for
all of our projects in both new and existing facilities. Our experienced electrical design team strives
to put together well thought out, safe, reliable and economical power and control systems, and does
it in a timely manner. Although in the Western Canadian Oilfield most power systems are generally
480 Volt 60 Hz, Integra has successfully completed electrical power systems designs for supplies of
380 Volt 50 Hz, 600 Volt 60 Hz and 4160 Volt 60 Hz.

One of Integra’s strengths is its ability to work at existing facilities. Whether it is for a facility
expansion or to update company documentation, as-building facility design drawings is often
required. Integra’s personnel have the field experience required to properly as-build drawings for
existing facilities. Process and Instrumentation Diagrams are the most common drawings required to
be as-built; but we have the capabilities to as-build piping, structural steel, equipment, and electrical
drawings if required. Integra has successfully completed numerous as-build projects on facilities
varying in size and complexity.

The scope for inadvertent permitting and licensing breaches is increasing. Breaches can result in financial penalties, other enforcement consequences (including costly downtime) and potential damage to public reputation.
Smart oil and gas organizations are realizing the importance of ensuring compliance in regards to provincial and federal requirements, regulations, and guidelines; but often do not have the time nor the expertise on staff to ensure an efficient regulatory strategy.
Our professionals have a thorough understanding of regulatory services and are able to provide your team with accurate, timely compliance submissions.

Facility Condition Assessments (FCA) are a proven method to identify deficiencies in an existing facility’s process, equipment, and documentation requirements. They also can identify gaps in the training of personnel working within facilities. These accurate and consistent assessments are kept completely confidential and can be completed for a single location, or more comprehensively as part of a corporate program. No matter the facility, our team of engineers are able to deliver the expertise to assess everything from structural steel and piping systems to electrical and control systems to everything in between. We are able to identify process optimization strategies and regulatory compliance issues as well as being able to provide each client with comprehensive site plan reviews and technical evaluations. Integra can deliver anything from a high-level efficiency assessment to an actionable, detailed report complete with justifiable and cost-effective recommendations to issues that are identified. Our clients are then able to walk away with objective and thorough answers that enable them to better understand the condition of their assets and are better able to make “informed decisions” when assessing risks and/or in planning for the future.

Success Factors:

Projects must be completed safely;

Projects must work as intended;

Projects must be completed on time;

Projects must be completed within the approved budget.
